Scientists have uncovered new evidence that fireworks can pollute both the air and water in ways that extend beyond the visible smoke。 The findings show that leftover debris, fine particles, and airborne chemicals may affect ecosystems and increase people's exposure to air pollution during major celebrations
The race to build data centers in space is gaining momentum as AI drives unprecedented demand for computing power。 Orbital facilities could tap into abundant solar energy and avoid many of the environmental challenges faced on Earth。 Yet space remains a harsh and expensive place to operate, with major hurdles including cooling, maintenance, radiati
Zuckerberg’s plans for Arena, a prediction markets app that Meta is building, also include appealing to 18- to 34-year-old users
KiCad, a PCB EDA suite is now working in a browser, you can try it at the link, there's a demo project or you can bring your own。 Firefox is best, Chrome is good, Safari is "working"。We’re Emergence Engineering, a dev shop from Hungary, mostly working with rich text editors, CRDTs
Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for what powers Yellowstone and other supervolcanoes。 Instead of a deep plume rising from near Earth’s core, a broad “mantle wind” may push hot rock beneath Yellowstone, generating magma closer to the surface。 This process helps create a massive underground magma network and may explain how supervolcanoes
It only works for a few divisions thanks to a lot of added materials
Could something as simple as vitamin C help support a healthier aging brain。 In a study of more than 2,000 older adults in Japan, researchers found that people with lower vitamin C levels in their blood also tended to have less gray matter and weaker connections in a key brain network involved in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions
A surprising discovery is overturning a long-held assumption about how the brain’s movement center works。 Researchers found that two key cerebellar cell types—thought to be tightly linked—often don’t behave in predictable ways, even though one directly influences the other。 The finding suggests scientists may have been relying on the wrong signals
As OpenAI and Anthropic prepare to go public, tech workers making six figures are grousing that they cannot compete with the new A。 Some doubt they can afford to stay
A new AI-powered framework could transform how astronomers measure the expansion of the Universe。 By analyzing images of Type Ia supernovae and modeling their environments in unprecedented detail, researchers can estimate cosmic distances with near-spectroscopic accuracy。 The technique is designed for the flood of data expected from the upcoming Ve
Researchers have uncovered an unexpected antiviral defense system in sea anemones that works very differently from the one humans use。 The discovery suggests evolution developed multiple ways to combat viruses, challenging long-held ideas about how animal immune systems evolved
For decades, scientists thought royal jelly was the secret ingredient that turned an ordinary honeybee larva into a queen。 New research reveals the process is far more remarkable: young worker bees create special “royal cribs” made from customized wax, carefully regulate warmth and humidity, and dedicate entire teams of attendants to raising future
A new spray-on powder developed by KAIST can stop life-threatening bleeding in about one second by instantly forming a strong gel over a wound。 It works on deep and irregular injuries where conventional hemostatic products often struggle and remains effective even after years of storage in harsh conditions。 Originally created for the battlefield, t
A new study found that not all geoengineering ideas are created equal。 Brightening marine clouds over the eastern Pacific could dramatically weaken the El Niño cycle, triggering major changes to global weather patterns, while stratospheric aerosol injection left the system largely unchanged。 Researchers say the results are a reminder that efforts t
